Emerging to catch some rays

Thanks to the astute photography of Nick Fisher, we’ve finally got a look at the fellow who inhabits that questionably-roadworthy, tape-covered mess of a vehicle that inhabits parking spots along Duboce underneath the freeway.  The weather’s been so nice outside lately that even this dude had to come out of his plastic-layered shell.

While you’re navigating the minor inconveniences of your fast-paced lifestyle, it’s often easy to forget how easy it is for some personal hardship or illness to come along and wreck everything.  Then, before you know it, people start looking away when they see you on the street and you end up living in this.  Just take a moment to be thankful of your opportunities, and try not to forget that it’s not quite as easy for everyone.

    I’ve seen two guys pushing that car to a different location, so I think two people actually live in it.

    The street is actually called Division not Duboce… Carry on.

    And while you’re appreciating that you’re more fortunate than others, make sure to take personally-identifying photos of those less fortunate than you without permission and post them to public sites.
